W.T. Peterson Community Oval

Commonly referred to as Brunswick Street oval or the Fitzroy cricket ground, this open field was once home to the Fitzroy VFL club. It is still home to the local Fitzroy football club as well as juniors and the local cricket club.
There are still remnants of the old-​school historic fence line and gate that was once used by paying attendees of the football, who first started attending Fitzroy matches in 1883. This ground marks the gateway to Edinburgh gardens from the south. There is a heritage-​listed grandstand that sits on the north boundary of the ground that is in immaculate condition. The hill on the north east of the ground, just next to the grandstand, provides the best view in my books. To watch any sporting game from here, with the city as your backdrop is an absolute pleasure. Hundreds of trees surround the ground which is used daily by masses of locals as there is a walking path paved on the outside of the boundary fence.
A few years ago they renovated the cricket nets and provided public access to three quality brand new nets.
